	"description": "The coronavirus crisis has sent the aviation industry into freefall and thrown its supply chain into chaos. Since March, EasyJet, Virgin Atlantic and IAG (owner of British Airways) have all asked for government bailouts, with nearly £1bn already paid out. Meanwhile, they’ve paid millions in dividends to shareholders and cut tens of thousands of jobs. The aviation industry is failing its workers - who, through unions like Unite, are fighting plans for mass redundancies at BA and RollsRoyce while the government stands idly by. We need state intervention, now. But we cannot revert to a broken system. Aviation is set to be the UK’s largest source of emissions by 2050. Labour’s plan to fund a return to a growing aviation sector would lock us into runaway climate breakdown. But by taking a public stake when rescuing big businesses, the government can power a just transition for workers and planet, instead of bungs for billionaires like Richard Branson. Rather than advocating non-existent sustainable fuels, Labour should immediately call for the government to take public stakes in aviation firms as part of a sector-wide deal to reduce flights. As the government announces Project Birch to save ‘strategically important’ sectors, Labour must fight tooth and nail alongside the trade union movement for workers’ rights and climate justice. We cannot repeat the mistakes of 2008. We need a people’s bailout for workers and planet, not billionaires and shareholders.",
